What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Samsca Tablet Uses:
Samsca tablet belongs to the family of drugs known as vasopressin receptor antagonists. It is used in the treatment of conditions where there are low levels of salt (sodium) in the blood like heart failure and certain hormonal imbalances. Samsca acts by lowering the levels of this specific hormone, which is responsible for the regulation of water and salt in the body. If the high levels of the hormone are not corrected, it will result in low sodium values and retention of water.
Samsca medication is used to treat hyponatremia (low levels of sodium in the body). It does so by increasing the urinary output without causing the body to lose too much sodium. Thus, in doing so, the body gets rid of the extra water, leading to a gradual increase to normal levels of sodium in the blood.
Samsca can be easily purchased from Canada Pharmacy and be delivered to your doorstep.
Directions
Samsca should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Usually, it is taken orally, with or without food, once a day or as directed by your physician. It should not be taken for more than 30 days as excess usage can cause liver damage or even death.
